Weather Update: On Thursday, August 31st, all facilities and schools within the McCormick County School District will operate on a two-hour delay. This means school start times are two hours later than usual. School bus riders should report to their bus stops two hours later than their usual times. The school day will begin at 10 am rather than 8 am. Parents are encouraged to download our new app, “McCormick County School,” for all school and district updates.
Early Dismissal at Noon: Due to the weather that is being forecasted for later this afternoon and through the evening, we will be dismissing at noon today (Wednesday, 8/30). Hurricane Idalia is expected to bring high winds and several inches of rain to our area.
All students will be served breakfast and lunch today. Additionally, all students who normally attend Abbeville Career Center and Piedmont Technical College will not be sent this morning.
We will be in touch later on today in regards to any decisions pertaining to school tomorrow. Stay safe everyone!
IMPORTANT WEATHER UPDATE: We are closely monitoring the weather forecast and any potential impacts that may result from Hurricane Idalia moving through our area over the next few days. As a precautionary measure, all students were instructed to bring home their Chromebooks today in the event the district needs to utilize an e-learning day. At this point in time, no changes have been made to the regular schedule. We will continue to keep you updated on any changes.

On behalf of the McCormick High School football team and coaching staff, we would like to extend our greatest thanks to each of you for the part that you played on yesterday in helping to make our football camp a successful one. We would not have been able to host such a successful event without your hard work and dedication, and that was not taken for granted. Thank you so much for your support of the MHS football team. Go Big Red!!
Good evening, Parents/Guardians/Students.
This is Gena K. Wideman, your high school principal.
This week:
• MAP assessments for Reading and Mathematics will take place for 9th and 10th grade students.
• Club sign-up day is scheduled for Monday, July 31, 2023 during lunch. Students, if you do not sign-up for a club, one will be assigned to you.
That is all for this week, but remember, a quote by John Wooden says, “Do not permit what you cannot do to interfere with what you can do.”
Always do your best!
Have a great week ahead.
